30 Before 30

I am not even sure how this came about, but Sophomore year of college a few of my friends and I came up with personal 30 before 30 lists-- a list of 30 things to complete before we turned 30.  At the time, I don't think I was even 20.  Now two solid years into my 20's I need to get going on some of these lofty plans!

Above is the original copy circa 2010 (maybe 2011?).  Just incase you can't read my very legible (not) handwriting, here it is all spelled out for you:

1)  Graduate

Bitter sweet, but I did it!

2) Move to New York City

Woo hoo, just check out my whole blog to see the city fun I'm having!

3) Get a job

I now work here

4) Go to Europe

Recently went on a Mediterranean Cruise

5) Throw my parents' 50th birthday parties (1/2 way done)

6) Go white water rafting

7) Follow a concert tour

8) Go back to my hometown in Washington State

9) Write a book

10) Keep in touch with college friends (So far so good!)

11) Buy a pair of Louboutins

12) Go home every year for Christmas

13) Send in a Post Secret

14) Learn to surf

15) Meet John Mayer

16) Get a new car

17) Get my cosmetology license

18) Always collect fortunes

19) Go on the ferris wheel in Paris

20) Cook a whole cookbook

21) Go to Vegas

22) Run a marathon

23) Read the whole Bible

24) Go on a mission trip

25) Get a dog

26) Start a new collection

I decided on candles!  Easy to give, easy to get, and they smell fab.

27) Learn to play an instrument

Took a grueling semester of piano for a one hour credit while in college.  Let's just say lots of tears were shed both in and out of class.. 

28) Learn a new language

29) Do a power hour (attempted-- not successful.. must try again before it is socially unacceptable!)

30) TBD.. 

I will keep you all posted about any progress that is *hopefully* made on this daunting list!
